GULP!

elena martinez · June 22, 2026 certified reviewer
Delightful physicality wrapped up in an absurd and endearing love story! Prith is a wonderful clown - open, vulnerable, and playful. He was simply a joy to watch, every little movement put a smile on my face. I never thought I would be so touched by the love story between a human and a fruit.... full review

I Am Going to Reveal Something Personal About Myself

elena martinez · June 22, 2026 certified reviewer
1) I could watch Sarah do almost anything and find it funny. 2) This show is somehow both so vulnerable and so silly. I am Going to Reveal Something Personal About Myself was like an anxious burrito - on the surface it appears that she's hiding things, but really it's all right in front of you.... full review

HYSTERICAL

elena martinez · June 22, 2026 certified reviewer
Must see! Go see! Be prepared to scream! Hysterical is hilarious and scary and then takes this hard right turn and slams you against the wall and you look around and are having a revelation. Jackie holds your attention from start to finish, which makes the jump scares hit that much harder. I was on the edge of my seat!... full review

CVNT

elena martinez · June 22, 2026 certified reviewer
Sophie is a true freak and I love her brain! Part spectacle, part clown show, part inspirational talking vagina - Cvnt is a dark pink joy to watch! I was excited to see where she would take us next on the journey exploring cvnts (and all they have to offer) and every time I was surprised. ... full review

How To Get a Second Husband

elena martinez · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
I knew this was going to be funny, I knew Jackie was going to crush it, I knew I was going to be laughing a lot; I didn't know that I was also going to be deeply touched by her story. Jackie is nonstop and in your face with all the gory details of her divorce and the joyous details of finding love. She's hilarious throughout this sharp and silly show.... full review

A You Problem

elena martinez · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
My face was hurting from laughing and my knee was hurting from slapping! Jordan delivers an incredible comedic performance grounded in vulnerability. She really creates a world in the theater and her parodies of the personas that inhabit it are spot on. The earnestness that she brings really highlights the absurdity that she's playing against. Really well conceived and performed show!... full review

Big Maestro & Little Cello Boy

elena martinez · June 15, 2026 certified reviewer
The physical comedy in Big Maestro is top notch! I felt like I was watching something from another era. Alex (Big Maestro) and Peter (Little Cello Boy) play off each other in such a chaotic and fun way - they build the tension of the show in a way where you can't wait to see what's next, but you are also terrified to see what's next (for Peter's sake). ... full review

Grief Box

elena martinez · June 10, 2026 certified reviewer
Kathleen is a force of nature! Grief Box was relentless in delivering the comedic blows! I really found myself in awe of how Kathleen held the presence and attention of the audience throughout, all well keeping up the infomercial/seminar reality that she created. Convention speakers would be so lucky to have about a 10th of the captivating showmanship that Kathleen brings in spades!... full review

Out for Delivery

elena martinez · June 10, 2026 certified reviewer
The opportunity to live in the mind of Lissa Rivera, even for a short time is a ride worth taking. Out For Delivery is not simply a show, it's an experience. Everything feels surprising, yet so intentional. The way that she treats her oddities with such care and love brings this wonderful meeting of absurdity and sincerity, that was a complete delight to watch. I recommend sitting as close as you can to the stage so you don't miss any of the curated details that Lissa has thought up!... full review

The Do Over

elena martinez · June 10, 2026 certified reviewer
THIS SHOW IS SO SPECIAL! Rachel's background in theatre coupled with her very present performance delivers a polished and inviting show. Knowing the premise of the show, I was going in clutching my Kleenex, but The Do Over is buoyant and full of joy. I was crying from the heartfelt and the comedic moments. This is the kind of show that makes you want to tell your loved ones that you care about them, and that's exactly what I did on my drive home.... full review
